You hit almost all of the in vogue anti-free speech equivocations except the "fire in a crowded theater" argument.
Regardless, you've just moved the goalposts from "what is free speech" to "what is violent speech" which contributes nothing to the conversation but adds the specter of "danger", which throughout history has been mostly used by those who wish to curtail political speech under the guise of "safety".
- bduerst 11y agoI'm flattered because it's hard to move the goalposts when you never comment or set them to begin with. Did you reply to the right person?
- pdeuchler 11y ago>> People are misinterpreting that as reddit being a "bastion of free speech" without fully understanding what free speech really is. HN is an open forum, may I not comment on discussion between two other members?
- bduerst 11y agoHow is that a moving goalpost? And of course you're free to comment however you please, I never implied otherwise.
